A combination of low‐temperature reactive and extractive distillation for methoxy‐2‐propyl acetate synthesis and separation process: simulations and experiments
Abstract:BACKGROUND
Esterification of methoxy propanol (MP) and acetic acid (HAC) to methoxy‐2‐propyl acetate (MPA) is a typical reversible reaction. The yield of MPA is low owing to the limitation of chemical equilibrium. In the present study, with the goal of increasing the reaction conversion and preventing the NKC‐9 cation exchange resin catalyst from deactivation at high temperature, a process combining low‐temperature reactive and extractive distillation with cyclohexane (C6H12) as entrainer was investigated by p… Show more
